As an integral part of the Louisville community, Cave Hill Cemetery is more than a sacred resting place. For this reason, the Cave Hill Heritage Foundation has been developed as a vehicle for the long-term preservation needs of Cave Hill Cemetery. We provide multiple avenues for your participation in the foundation, and hope that you will take the time to learn about our mission, projects, and membership opportunities. |

Cave Hill Heritage Foundation
The Foundation serves three distinct purposes
1. To Restore the historical monuments and buildings
Cave Hill Cemetery is known for its exquisite collection of monumental art, many examples of which are over 150 years old. Additionally, the property includes a variety of historic structures, from the Administration Office to the Board Room to the three and a half miles of brick and stone wall that encirle the perimeter. The resources provided through the Foundation will allow cemetery management to be proactive in addressing specific long-term conservation projects and critical situations that require immediate intervention and stabilization.
